    If there were ever a single artist that epitomized Valentine's Day, it had to be Barry White. For several generations, the deep bass of White's voice has represented sensual love to the fullest, with Can't Get Enough serving as his bedroom-level masterpiece. After kicking things off with the appropriately titled instrumental "Mellow Mood (Part 1)," White quickly gets to serenading listeners with the soaring "You're the First, the Last, My Everything," and the romantics hits just keep coming from there, especially the infamous title track. It's the kind of record that will make you want to cuddle up with your special someone if you aren't already, and it's just one of many reasons we can't deny White his moment every February.

    The third in White's mostly stellar run of albums on the 20th Century label, Can't Get Enough finds the bedroom alchemist coming up with another solid batch of lush, proto-disco gems. White went from strength to strength during the '70s, collaborating with co-arranger Gene Page on some of the most sophisticated and seamless charts in popular music (Philly soul architects Leon Huff, Kenny Gamble, and Thom Bell also deserve recognition in this regard). And thanks to an amazing succession of hits, White not only impressed the music cognoscenti, but repeatedly scored with the radio faithful, too -- Can't Get Enough features two of his biggest chart toppers, "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe." And besides the hits, it's not just all padding here: "I Can't Believe You Love Me" and "Oh Love, Well We Finally We Made It" qualify as two of White's most fetching slow burners, while "Mellow Mood (Pts. 1 & 2)" shows off his knack for layered instrumentals. Another highlight from White's prime.
